Bartolosch

What Bartolosch does

Bartolosch Maschinen GmbH (DBA: Bartolosch GmbH) is a German private limited company headquartered in Friedewald that operates as a Tier 1 contract manufacturer of precision-machined components and sub-assemblies. Founded in 1979 and family/owner-managed under managing director Patric Meeth, the company runs approximately 90 CNC turning and milling machines across a 10,000 m² facility with roughly 200 qualified employees. Its core capability spans CNC turning, CNC milling, full assembly of subassemblies through to complete machines, metrology-driven quality control (ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949, VDA 6.3 audit processes), and coordinated surface coating through partner networks — delivered under a single 'Alles aus einer Hand' (everything from one source) operating philosophy.

The company serves enterprise OEMs in agriculture, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, automotive, and broader German mechanical engineering, supplying pre-series through large production runs with Just-in-Time delivery worldwide. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B field sales augmented by an in-house sales team for order processing and relationship management, with recent additions of Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel indicating an emerging digital demand-generation layer. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts covering component development, machining, assembly, and logistics; pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed.

Bartolosch is part of an informal corporate group with Schlebach Maschinen GmbH, expanding its reach into adjacent machine manufacturing. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, no M&A activity, and no public listing. The company operates as a classic German Mittelstand machining enterprise: vertically integrated, quality-certified, owner-managed, and embedded in cyclical industrial end-markets.

Core offering

Bartolosch Maschinen GmbH is a German Tier 1 contract manufacturer that produces precision CNC-turned and CNC-milled components on approximately 90 machines across a 10,000 m² facility. The company manages the entire value chain — from product development and design through procurement, machining, surface coating coordination, assembly of subassemblies up to complete machines, quality assurance (ISO 9001:2015), and Just-in-Time delivery to industrial customers in the agricultural, construction, commercial vehicle, and automotive sectors.

Product overview

Bartolosch Maschinen GmbH is a German precision machining and contract manufacturing company operating a single integrated platform built around CNC machining (turning and milling) and assembly services. The core offering consists of CNC-turned and CNC-milled parts manufactured on approximately 90 machines across a 10,000 m² facility, supplemented by full assembly of subassemblies up to complete machines. The company manages the entire value chain from raw material procurement and component development through machining, surface coating (via partner network), pre-assembly, and just-in-time delivery to end customers. Quality assurance is embedded as a core capability. The portfolio is delivered as a unified "everything from a single source" service rather than separately purchasable modules.
